How do police arrest people that only have one arm?

they can't put handcuffs on them, so how do they arrest them? i know it would be extremely rare, but there is a chance that it could happen!Additional Detailssurely cuffing one arm would not work, as they would be able to lash out, or help themselves get away?

I have a transport belt made of leather with a metal ring in it, I could cuff the one arm to the ring. I wouldn't trust the offender's belt.

It does happen. You could handcuff the one arm to a belt loop behind thier back or get a waist cahin and secure the hand to that.

They don't need to be handcuffed if they are 'armless.

I am sure a Police Officer would be capable of holding one arm, good question though lol.

simplysuewi

we would usually put one cuff around the good wrist. And the other cuff on the belt, or belt loop . Or cuff to ahinge in the jail wall or back of a squad.

You can also put leg iron on then that have a long chain and attach the one open cuff to the chain.

Do you think someone with one arm would need to be cuffed?

I think maybe just holding it whilst escorting him will do the trick ;-)

"How about no arms, or someone with that defect where the hands grow straight out from the shoulders?"

Come on, if they don't have any arms then there is no need for you to restrain their arms to prevent them hitting you or escaping!

IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN THEN YOU THINK.
USE TO TRANSPORT TO OUTLINING COURTS OF JURISDICTION.
YOU CAN USE A CUFF BELT THE LOCKS BEHIND THE PERSON AND HAS A LOOP RING IN FRONT WHERE THE CUFFS GO THROUGH AND BOTH HANDS ARE CUFFED. WITH A ONE ARMED SUSPECT, YOU USE ONE CUFF IN THE LOOP AND ON CUFF ON THE PERSON.
OTHER WAYS ARE A BELLY CHAIN AND SECURE THE CHAIN WITH BOTH CUFFS AS DONE WITH THE BELT, THE BELT LOOP WITH A BELT TO DOUBLE SECURE THE LOOP FROM BEING TORN AWAY, THEN THERE IS THE ARM TO LEG METHOD WITH A LEG IRON TO ONE LEG AND A HANDCUFF TO IT THEN ATTACHED TO THE ONE ARM. THIS CAN BE SECURED BY FLEX CUFFS TO THE BELT TO FURTHER RESTRICT MOVEMENT.
